Preface

This book contains a collection of research papers on optimization and dynamics with their applications celebrating academic achievements of Ferenc Szidarovszky for half of a century from 1968 to Present. He made outstanding contributions to various fields including decision theory, numerical analysis, system dynamics in economics, game theory, optimal maintenance and replacement policies, to name only a few. The authors of the chapters of this book are his colleagues, ex-students and friends and have been collaborated in the past. They are, like other researchers who read his papers, inspired by his deep insight and wisdom and agree to contribute their new findings to a special book. Ferenc Szidarovszky, currently Full Professor at Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Pécs in Hungary, has been a distinguished researcher, a best teacher and big buddy who loves jokes. Born as the only son of intellectual family where his mother as well as his three sisters were school teachers and his father was a civil engineer, he found himself to shine at mat
